The Mac-Mac area, named after the many Scottish miners who arrived in the 1870s, is steeped in gold-rush history. Visitors can explore remnants of old diggings, a pioneer cemetery, and the restored Mac-Mac Falls, where miners once panned for gold. The area is set in lush indigenous forest, with walking trails connecting historical sites.
